IIow He must have loved ___ The cross Is the mirror In which we see reflected God’s hatred of sin and Christ’s love for sinners. At first both of the thieves joined the rabble In their mock ery, then one rebuked the other, confess ing their guilt and His Innocence, and then nskod Jesus to remember Him, and the Savior replied by saying. “Todnw thou shult be with Me In paradise.” Ilere Is tory, or the soul sleeper, or the nnult y«* , One that none may despair, and t>oly one that none may dare to presume. rescue—for men cross and rescued—four soldiers with centurion wore left to guard the cross. was the custom for these men to have the clothes of the victim. ; And then nnother prophecy was fulfilled that had been uttered centuries before: “They parted my garments and upon my vesture did they cast lots.” The undergarment was one continuous woven texture which could not be divided without spoiling It, and so they cast lots _ atchora at tha Cross.

John tells us In his account that the three Marys were there. Mary, the mother of Jesus, whom lie accompanied; Mary, the wife of rieopas, ami Mary Magdalcue, nm| many other women from Galilee. Christ again was subjected to all man ner of mockery and derision. Every Insult that malignant veugennoe could devise was heaped npon Him. There were taunts and hitter gibes from the mob and the S4»ldiers; the high priests and elders joined with the rabnlo In their triumphant sneers. One erl**d, “He saved others; himself he cannot save.” And the crowd, catching the spirit, shouted. ”lf thou he tho Hon of God, come I down from the cross.” If the words of Ncheminh. were ever appropriate to human Ups, they were to those pnrehed lips that maintained unbroken silence on the cross. I do not know that in that hour of an guish these taunts and Jeers troubled Him: they might have 1>eeii only os a pebble cast Into the stormy ti*w»u, not even felt amid It* breakers; they might have been ns a feather added to tho mountain weight under which His great soul was bowing; nr us the stlhg of u miserable In sect on the cheek of one who stands over a fallen friend, cutting down those who nud roiled away the stone from the sep ulcher*.

SAVANNAH MILITARY WILL ATTEND THE JAMESTOWN EXPO. SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN AFTER THEA TER PARTIES AT THE NEW KIMBALL PALM GARDEN. Special to The Georgian. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 7.—Indications point to a large attendance of the 8a- vannah military at the Jamestown Ex position. The Georgia Hussars arc ar ranging to make the trip and the Ger man Volunteers, of the First Infantry will also go. In addition to these two companies, ft Is probable that a large number of men from tho other local companies of the regiment will make the trip. Colonel Gordon, commanding the First regiment, and Colonel Twiggs, com manding the Third, are corresponding now with a view to arranging for a provisional regiment to attend tho ex ercises on Georgia day. At a meeting of the Ladles’ Auxili ary of the German Volunteers, held last night, which was attended also by the active, honorary and pay members of the command, ft was decided to hold a bazaar at an early* date, with Which to realize sufficient funds with which to make the trip. An effort will, be made to go to Jamestown and Richmond, too, and to arrive In Richmond on the day* when the Jeff Davis monument is unveiled. GOSSIP OF CONGRESS Washington.

Nobody known whose fault It was. but Speaker Cannon waa hurried to tho floor of the Mouse to convene that body at 11; 05 o'clock, when he did not have to go Into the chair until 12 O’clock. y I'll Just stick my head out of this door." said Undo Joe hurriedly. In a second he was out In the corridor bnck of tho speaker’s desk using tho precious live minutes In smoking Ills cigar that was still lighted. 3Ir. Lamar, of Florida, was speaking against the I.lttleflehl hill to abolish the compulsory pilotage laws In the cqfiat- wlso trade. This Is iho bill which has also been fouglu hurd by organized labor. Remembering the fight the labor men made on Mr. Mttlelleld last sum mer. 3lr. Lainar handed him this In the debate on the floor of tho hoqae: •'While I would not by any means even Insinuate that the swiftness and suddenness with which thin bill has been precipitated upon this floor came from tho fart that the gentleman from 3talnc (Mr. Littlefield) had a tilt with organized labor, I will suggest that hla advocacy of It may have lieen some what accentuated by hla scare from the recent conflict."

Go.,' Dec. 7.—The cotton merchants of Augusta have planned a banquet to bo held at the Bon Air hotel, December 22, and every prepa ration will be made to make the uffalr a great success and an enjoyable occa sion In every way. The members of the cotton exchange are the leaders of the movement, and as almost every cotton merchant In Augusta la u mem ber of tlie exchange, It Is very probable that almost all the cotton men will he present. The banquet wilt take the place of the annunl Uhristmus tree which has been the custom for many years |*st. At these Chrlatinas trees every member of the exchunge was given a present, and a great amount of merriment und good cheer was cre ated. This year a departure from this ustoin was agreed upon and a sump tuous banquet In one of the most ele- guilt todrist hotels In the entire South will amply repay tho cotton men for the loss of the Christmas tree.
